Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) estimated output until May end to be 27 billion Kwh and demand to be nearly 28 billion kwh.
According to the National Load Dispatch Center, water levels have been falling in northern reservoirs used for electricity.
The level in the Hoa Binh reservoir, among the biggest, stands at 110.3 meter, a full meter less than last year’s level. The volume of water is equivalent to only 80% of last year’s storage.
EVN seeks to supply nearly 2.1 billion Kwh through the 500KV North-South Line by May but warned the high load could strain the line, adding any mishap could cause a widespread blackout in the north.
To cope with the expected shortfall, EVN plans to expand existing hydroelectricity plants in Quang Tri province in the central region, and a thermal power plant in the southern Ca Mau province, install a 220KV line in Lao Cai in the north to increase capacity to transmit electricity bought from China.
